Inter-American Materials Research Collaboration Ka Yee C. Lee, University of Chicago, DMR 0820054 L-R Potential and current Chilean exchange students and mentors with Tom Witten (PI of the MRSEC-Chile Exchange Program, IRG 2 Co-Coordinator) at an information session for potential participants. Back row: Meagan Palmer (UC graduate student), KarmelaPadavic (UC undergraduate), Cacey Stevens (UC graduate student), Cecilia FariasAlcaino (Universidad de Chile student), Tom Witten. Front row: Nora Tramm (UC graduate student), Michelle Driscoll (UC graduate student), RadhaRamachandran (UC graduate student); IrmgardBischofberger (UC postdoc). A partnership between the University of Chicago MRSEC and the Universidad de Chile and the University de Santiago de Chile brings Chilean students to the University of Chicago and University of Chicago students to Chile for materials research related to nonlinear dynamics. Both graduate students and undergraduate students from each institution have the opportunity to participate in this program. This partnership was established in 2003, and is co-funded by the NSF and the National Commission of Scientific and Technological Investigation of Chile, CONICYT.
